It is not proof of water conditions, contaminants, hardness, treatment needs, or compliance at a specific home; building plumbing, service-line material, fixtures, and local conditions can differ.

The 2020-2024 ACS estimate puts the median year built for Coal City housing units at 1985, a late twentieth-century housing era. That is context for discussing plumbing access, fixture age, and updates at a specific address, not a condition report for any one home.

Local Questions

Coal City water-treatment FAQs

Town FAQ source: 2025 Coal City Consumer Confidence Report / Annual Drinking Water Quality Report (2025)

What is the reported water source for Coal City?

Coal City’s current Consumer Confidence Report identifies groundwater as the source used by the Village water system. Its source-water table lists Well 4, Well 5, Well 6, and Well 7 as groundwater sources.

What does the latest Coal City report say about combined radium?

For 2025, Coal City’s report lists combined radium 226/228 at 1.15 pCi/L as both the highest detected level and the reported range. The table lists a 5 pCi/L MCL and no violation; that system-level entry is not a test of a specific Coal City home.

Does Coal City’s municipal report tell me what is happening at my tap?

Not by itself. The report describes Coal City’s public water system and reported sampling results. Water at a particular Coal City home can also be affected by the home’s plumbing, service-line material, fixtures, and local conditions.

What if my Coal City property uses a private well?

For a Coal City property on a private well, we consider well-water treatment only after laboratory results or a confirmed field test. The Village report concerns the Coal City public water system, not an individual private well.
